- Perfect for people with little to none previous experience in programming, » (Easy)
- It was quite easy, but considering there was not much time I think it"s okey.» (Easy)
- Appropriate difficulty, I would choose moderately if that would be an option.» (Easy)

- Hard to achieve good and robust performance, due to many different possible states. Also due to including many sensors.» (Difficult)
- It was way harder to implement a "smart" solution to the actual problem. A good solution would be the one where it finds one object and returns this to the safe-zone, before collecting a new one, rather than just delivering 4 at once.» (Difficult)
- A bit tricky, but never felt that it would be an unreachable goal! Very fun» (Difficult)

- This task is on the edge of complexity. When introducing the assignment, you should emphasize that the robot should be able to move good without the IR beacon in sight, since the beacon was harder than expected to spot.» (Good)

- Very easy to work with. Saves a lot of time when there"s libraries for setting motors and pulsing LEDs etc.» (Very much)
- Good tutorials both in the BoE shield and arduino! » (Very much)
- really smoth, easy to program with the arduino std library. only limitation hit for the arduino in our group was the number of external interupt pins(2). speed and memory-wise sufficient for the projects» (Very much)
- Arduino code is pleasent to work with. The kit was easy to build and had sufficient room to add sensors and such.» (Much)

- I was already familiar with my group memebers, which is both positive and negative in a learning standpoint.» (No opinion)
- Our group could argue a bit too much, and my team members wasnt always active, or when they was, they was kind of ego, and wanted everything their way.. » (Little)
- I guess it all depends of the team» (Very little)
- Had a not so good group, was actually more like two groups in one» (Very little)

- More access to a lab would help a lot. Not everybody has tools to work with and having to rely on somebody being in the lab was not efficient and no chance on deciding on meeting time ahead of time.» (No opinion)
- Course webpage nearly impossible to find. Lack of tools and equiptment. Barely functioning beacon.» (To little)
- More time for supervision and access to material and equipment felt needed. » (To little)
